Past

More short stuff as I wrap up my creative writing project.

Past
Longing for a mulligan on this crack stepped, or that mirror broke
Midnight obsessions with what if's and woulda coulda and shoulda's
The why's, the who's the what's
They make us who we are, that we do not see
We see what we could have been
Where we should have picked A rather than B
Would things have been different
What if I took that leap

In a universe with infinite possibilities
Those things have lead to this specific point
All the available paths pruned to give this one answer
A flaw that controls what risks you take
Choose the beaten path, instead of following what might be
Only to end up with more lost time
And questions to burrow into your late nights
